Subject: RAM Files with ASP

Hi Alan,
I read your posting in the RealForum regarding users who can't see ASP
generated RAM files. I have seen the same problem. It was a problem on IE4
when I tried it -- the browser would just keep downloading the file and
never stop (<% Response.End %> was futile).

Since you are running an NT platform, I suggest that you use either CGI or
an ISAPI extension. The ISAPI extension will be your best performer, but I
wouldn't try it if you are uncomfortable with concepts such as thread pools
and extension conrol structure pointers. Of course, ISAPI also requires good
knowledge of C/C++. If you are really attached to VB, you can go out on the
net and find a file called 'CGI4VB.bas' which allows you to build a VB
executable that runs as a CGI app on IIS. It works quite well, and is nearly
as simple as building the ASP page.

Hope this helps.
